I started programming when I was 15 (or a bit earlier), helping out here and there with online Pokémon games. I picked up whatever I could at that point from seeing how web pages work. I remember being fascinated by simple data entry forms having an effect on a game.
There were a couple of years where I tried really hard to learn but programming didn't "click".
A couple of friends still use it to track their personal websites and I'm happy to keep it online somewhere.
